Why Langkawi

  • Duty-free island — cheapest alcohol in Malaysia (a beer for under $2)
  • Pantai Cenang beach has a lively backpacker strip with bars and cheap food
  • SkyBridge and cable car offer dramatic mountain-top views

Langkawi is a duty-free archipelago off Malaysia's northwest coast, best known for its beaches, mangrove forests, and the dramatic SkyBridge cable car. While it draws resort tourists, backpackers can take advantage of duty-free alcohol (cheap by Malaysian standards), affordable guesthouses, and island-hopping tours. Pantai Cenang is the main strip, with most hostels, restaurants, and nightlife concentrated there.
